Dr. Fenneman has more than 30 years’ experience studying flora and fauna in British Columbia, and has collected and documented plants and wildlife throughout most of the province. He has performed work as an ecologist and botanist in several Canadian provinces and U.S. states. Dr. Fenneman specializes in botanical inventories, rare plant surveys, and mitigation strategies for rare species, and also conducts inventories and surveys of small and large mammals, invertebrates, amphibians, and birds. He has participated in a number of environmental assessments of development projects in B.C., including documentation of species and ecosystems at risk. He has been a lead botanist on several long-term (5-10+ years) ecosystem monitoring projects in British Columbia and Alberta, including the characterization, classification, mapping, and long-term monitoring of vegetation communities, the responses of wildlife to changes in these vegetation communities (both naturally and through restoration efforts), and the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on the surrounding ecosystems. He has developed numerous vegetation and invasive plant management plans for industrial development in British Columbia, as well as revegetation plans associated with post-disturbance ecosystem restoration.
